UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

The University of Maryland is a land-grant institution
of higher learning, providing opportunities in teaching,
research and service. The College Park Campus, located
in Prince George's County, occupies over 1300 acres, and
is a blend of diverse cultural, intellectual and political
interests. Within a short distance of the campus are the
major metropolises of Washington D.C. and Baltimore,
the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and the Blue Ridge
Mountains, as well as the quaintness of historical towns
as Annapolis. A campus which houses 200 major build-
ings, framed in Georgian architecture, the University has
grown from its agricultural origins to a program provid-
ing bachelor degrees in over 120 fields, as well as over
eighty areas at the advanced degree level.

Under the guidance of retired Athletic Director, James
H. Kehoe, a former outstanding trackman at Maryland
and Head Track Coach for over two decades, Maryland
athletics, both men's and women's programs, have ex-
panded in recent years to become one of the premier
athletic establishments in the nation. This successful
overall program has recently been transferred to the very
capable hands of Carl James, former Athletic Director
at Duke University.

FRANK COSTELLO
Head Track Coach

After having served six years as an assistant track
coach at Maryland, Frank was appointed head coach in
1974, and the track program at Maryland has accelerated
towards excellence ever since.

A former collegian at Maryland, Frank's accomplish-
ments as a track man are almost impossible to list: A.C.C
Indoor and Outdoor Champion 1964, '65, '66 and '68;
IC4A Champ indoor and outdoor 1965, 1966; NCAA
Champ indoor and outdoor 1965; Penn Relay Champ
1965, '66; All American in track 1965, '66 '68. Costello
was out the 1967 indoor and outdoor season recovering
from a knee operation. He returned to competition again
in '68 to set a new ACC outdoor high jump record. In
1966 Costello set a new Maryland high jump record at
7'1".

A perfectionist, Frank's teams since 1974 have won
eight A.C.C. Championships, three IC4A Championships,
three IC4A second places and his dual meet teams have
been ranked among the collegiate elite every year. Last
year's teams placed sixth and ninth respectively indoors
and outdoors in the NCAA Championships. In 1975
Costello was named District III NCAA Coach of the Year.
That same year Frank also served as the Head Coach of
the U.S. National Indoor Team that beat the Russians
in Richmond, Virginia. A noted publisher of training
and technique articles in national sports publications,
Frank has become a greatly demanded clinical speaker,
achieving wide acclaim for his theories of improving
speed and conditioning. He presently is a consultant with
the Green Bay Packers Football Team.

Married to the former Nancy Sellner, the Costello's
reside in Adelphi, Maryland. They are the parents of
one daughter, Melissa.

STAN pins

Stan begins his sixth season as an assistant track coach
and his fourth season as the Head Cross Country Coach
at Maryland. His primary responsibility with the men's
program is the middle distance and distance events. In
addition, after a year as the assistant women's coach, Stan
has assumed the Head Coach responsibility for the Wom-
en's Track and Cross Country programs this season.

A graduate of Maryland in 1961, where he was an
outstanding sprinter and relay racer, Stan began his
coaching career immediately after graduation at the high
school level in Prince George's County, where he coach-
ed Duval, Crossland and Parkdale High Schools to a
69-3 record and a State Championship for Crossland in
1966.

Winner of the 1976 ACC Championship in Cross
Country, Stan has coached several ACC and IC4A indi-
vidual champions in the middle distance events. In ad-
dition, Stan's mile relay team in 1976 was awarded All
American honors. With a full contingent of seasoned
veterans returning, as well as the matriculation of several
outstanding transfer students and freshmen, 1978 prom-
ises the return of Maryland distance running to the top
of the ACC Track scene.

An employee of the Prince George's County school
system, Stan is the Assistant Supervisor of Driver Edu-
cation for the county. Married to the former Janet
Preusse, the Pitts reside with their four children, Vicky,
Arlene, Bruce and Eric in nearby Fairfield, Pennsylvania.

JOE DAVID

A product of Union High School in Union, New
Jersey, Joe attended the University of Maryland, where
he won several ACC, IC4A and Penn Relay Champion-
ships. Joe was the school record holder in the high jump
at 7'll/2" in 1970, until his own pupil, Brian Melly,
leaped 7'2" in 1977. Uuder the guidance of Joe, Brian
went on to clear 7'3" and placed second in the NCAA
Outdoor Championships in 1978. Last year Joe had
three high jumpers clear 7'0" or better and he has estab-
lished himself as one of the outstanding high jump
coaches in the nation.

Joe is an elementary school teacher at Mater Dei
School in Bethesda, and he and his wife, Britt, reside in
New Carrollton, Maryland.

DICK DULL

primary coaching responsibility is the javelin. A former
trackman for Jim Kehoe, Dick ranks sixth on the Top
Ten List with a throw of 247 feet, and was an ACC,
twice ACC-SEC, Penn Relay and Florida Relay Cham-
pion. In addition he was the 1965 National Junior AAU
Champion.

A graduate of the University of Maryland School of
Law, Dick was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree in 1971,
and is a member of the Maryland bar. Just recently as-
sociated with a law practice in Upper Marlboro, Dick's
fulltime position is the Assistant to the Director of Ath-
letics for Business Affairs. Dick is unmarried and resides

BILL GOODMAN

Having been sent to the University from York, Penn-
sylvania, where Bill excelled as a schoolboy, Bill became
one of Maryland's greatest long jumpers, leaping 25'4"
in 1976. Also an excellent triple jumper, Bill bounded
to a 51 '7" effort the same year, and is one of the Terps'
greatest double jumpers as well.

Last year, in just his first full year of responsibility as
the jump coach, Bill coached Dennis Ivory to a 26' and
53'10"and Bob Calhoun to several jumps over 26' with
a personal best of 26'5" and All American honors in the
NCAA. Bill also is employed as a sales representative
for the Dolphin Company which specializes in elite
sportswear. Bill resides as a bachelor in College Park.

1978 HIGHLIGHTS

The 1978 Indoor Track Season commenced for the
Terps in January with a renewed dedication to dual meet
supremacy, A.C.C. domination and the recent IC4A ex-
cellence which the Maryland track team has enjoyed.
However, for the first time, both Maryland athletes as
well as their coaches committed themselves to acceler-
ating the program one step further — national respecta-
bility on a team as well as individual performance level.
The merging of a bevy of accomplished seasoned per-
formers, as well as the acquisition of several phenomenal
recruits, caused the prognosis for the 1978 season to be
bright.

The initial weekend of activity witnessed back to back
evening efforts at the CYO Invitational and the 1978
version of Maryland's traditional battle with the United
States Naval Academy. At the CYO, in the high jump,
Brian Melly jumped a personal indoor best of 7'2" in an
event which saw a world record set by Greg Joy. Fresh-
man hurdler Renaldo Nehemiah, skimmed the 60 high
hurdles in 7.14 for a third place finish. Teammate Greg
"Fly" Robertson ran 7.22 and indoor track fans witnessed
the inception of a team hurdling effort indoors which
would climax at the NCAA Indoor Championships in
victory and controversy. Transfer student, Bob Calhoun,
promising perfection in both the sprints as well as the

Team Captain and All American — Ian Pyka

long jump, sprinted 60 yards in 6.18 for a very impressive
early season clocking.

The following evening, however, the Terrapins, ill
prepared as a result of a holiday vacation, and involved
with an opponent boasting the desire to render an upset,
escaped with a narrow victory, 70-66. Highlighting the
meet for the Terrapins was the dual victories of "Skeets"
Nehemiah running both the sprint and hurdle races in
6.0 and 7.0, respectively. The Mile Relay team ran a
respectable 3:16.9 to win and Dave Cornwell clocked
9:00.5 in the Two Mile Run, easily outdistancing the
Midshipman in a crucial race. Ian Pyka, IC4A Indoor
and Outdoor Champion the previous year, opened his
indoor campaign with SS^3/^" in the shot put, sufficient
for victory in that event.

The following weekend, despite one of the seasons
worst blizzards, the Terps survived the elements and
found themselves in Philadelphia for the Philadelphia
Track Classic. The evening belonged to Renaldo Nehe-
miah, as he astounded an early season track audience
with 7.13 in the high hurdles, tying the indoor electronic
world record. The performance was sufficient to entitle
him to the Meet's Outstanding Competitor Award.

A week later, in Madison Square Garden, against the
finest hurdle field of the season at the Millrose Games,
"Skeets" ran a phenomenal 7.07, breaking the world
record for the event. "Skeets" in this triumph served
notice to all the track world that his previous successes

All American High Jumper — Brian Melly

and notoriety were not "just a high school thing". Greg
"Fly" Robertson was fourth in the event with a 7.33
effort. Maryland gained its second Millrose Champion-
ship when Ian Pyka threw 58'9" winning his second
Wanamaker watch.

Returning to New York the next weekend, and before
a national TV audience, Nehemiah and Robertson ran
identical 7.2's to decimate the 55 Meter Hurdles event
with a 1-2 finish. Joining the remainder of the team the
following evening at the Princeton Relays, "Skeets" and
"Fly", teamed with Don Berich and football star David
Dixon, to easily win the Shuttle Hurdle Relay event in
28.6. Bob Calhoun leaped a school record in the long
jump at 26'1" and teammate Dennis Ivory posted an ex-
ceptional early season mark in the triple jump with
51'10". Ian Pyka improved his efforts in the shot put
with a 59'5l/4" throw, and Dave Cornwell again turned
in a fine distance effort with a two mile clocking of
8:53.7.

A contingent of five athletes were invited to the Mason-
Dixon Games in Louisville, Kentucky a week later, and
Ian Pyka, improving every weekend threw 60'6%" to es-
tablish a new University record in his specialty. Bob
Calhoun, indicating that his effort the week before was
no fluke, again leaped 26'11/^", setting a new Meet record,
a record previously held by Ralph Boston. Continuing
his assault on world records, Renaldo Nehemiah ran 7.5
(hand timing) in the 60 Meter High Hurdles. The elec-

8

tronic time had malfunctioned, however, and the fresh-
man was deprived of an official world record at that
distance.

In an effort to establish qualifying marks for the IC4A
Championships in individual events, the Terps spent the
f6llowing two weekends at the University of Delaware in
invitational meets. The first weekend saw sophomore
Mark Fields run 1:09.7 for a new school record in the
600, indicating the potential for possible IC4A honors
in that event. The following weekend, Fields duplicated
his effort again by clocking a respectable 1:10.0.

On February 25th, the Terps defended their 22 con-
secutive A.C.C. Championship string in Raleigh, North
Carolina by scoring 69 points, outdistancing all other
opponents. Individual championships were scored by
Renaldo Nehemiah in the hurdles, Bob Calhoun in the
long jump, Ian Pyka in the shot put with a 60'4" effort,
and Dennis Ivory in the triple jump. The hurdlers proved
supreme again as Nehemiah, Robertson and Dixon, re-
spectively, gave the Terps a 1-2-3 finish. Renaldo, on the
basis of his hurdling effort and a 6.35 for the fourth in
the 60, was awarded the Outstanding Performer honor.

Finally, the IC4A Championships again found arch
rivals Villanova and Maryland the only teams with any
chance for team victory. The Terps took an early lead as
usual on the basis of Bob Calhoun's 25'\3/4" victory in
the long jump. Ian Pyka and Renaldo Nehemiah follow-
ed with individual championships in the shot and hur-

dies, respectively, and Calhoun returned to win his second
championship in the 60, with a 6.27 effort. Brian Melly
was third in the high jump with a 7'0" effort, while the
"Horse", Mark Fields, placed third in the 600 in 1:10.0.
Dave Cornwell placed a respectable fourth in the Two
Mile and Dennis Ivory was fifth in the triple jump. Their
efforts were not sufficient however. When the Terps were
finished, Villanova began, accumulating team champion-
ships in two relays, and individual victories in the Triple
Jump and in four middle distance events. Maryland
again was relegated to a second place finish.

The Indoor NCAA Championships in Detroit gave the
Terps the opportunity to witness the success of their new-
est team effort — national respectability. RenaJdo Nehe-
miah and Greg Robertson again dominated the hurdles,
winning all their trial heats. In the final, Robertson,
away fast, led the entire race, but a brilliant lean at the
tape by Renaldo caused the phototimer to be consulted.
Upon examination of the photo,"Skeets" was awarded
the victory, with "Fly" second. However, an unexplained
reexamination of the film after the victory ceremony, and
after the Terrapin team had left the arena, gave James
Walker of Auburn second place. Bob Calhoun completed
the team scoring with a fourth place finish in the long
jump, and Maryland as a team placed sixth in the team
standings, its best finish since 1965 when sophomore high
jumper, and now Coach Frank Costello, won the national
championship.

After one of the finest indoor track campaigns in Mary-
land history, outdoor season began with the traditional
journey to the Florida Relays. Boasting outstanding
depth in the hurdles and sprints, it was not a surprise
when the Maryland 440 Relay Quartet of Greg Robert-
son, Andre Lancaster, Bob Calhoun and Renaldo Nehe-
miah won the event, beating Auburn with Willie Smith
and Harvey Glance in a school record time of 39.9. An-
other school record was set by Dennis Ivory in the Triple
Jump, as the junior leaped to win the event. Sec-

ond place efforts were scored by Brian Melly in the High
Jump at 7'2" and Ian Pyka who again threw 60'31/>".
In the finals of the 110 High Hurdles, spectators eager
to watch the phenomenal freshman, Renaldo Nehemiah,
saw a Maryland clad hurdler score the victory, but it was
Greg Robertson who was victorious, winning the event in
13.7. Bob Calhoun produced the other excellent per-
formance of the Terrapin contingent, with a 25'9i/2"
effort in the Long Jump. Meanwhile, in Dover, Dela-
ware, thwarted by the cold and windy March weather,
the remainder of the Terrapin team won two relays at
the Delaware State Relays. The quarter of Tony Uzda-
vines, Mike Adderly, Chris Turner and Dave Ungrady
captured the Two Mile Relay as their sprint counterparts,
Mark Fields, Joe Morris, Manny Rosenberg and Kent
Burno won the Sprint Medley Relay.

Relays dominating the early weeks, the Terps found
themselves in Charlottesville, Virginia at the Virginia Re-

lays the next weekend. Brian Melly proved to be the
most outstanding of all the Terps as he won the High
Jump at 7'3" for a new school record. The 440 Relay
and Shuttle Hurdle Relay Teams captured first places,
and individual championships were scored by Tim Ulam
in the Javelin, and Dennis Ivory in both the Long and
Triple Jumps with excellent 24'11" and 53'0" marks,
respectively. Ian Pyka threw a personal best for the
season in the Shot Put with a put of 6V3y2" and fresh-
man teammate Dan Lamp won the Pole Vault at 15'.
As a result of these efforts, Maryland won the team title,
followed by Penn State, Virginia and Pitt.

Eager to avenge their poor indoor performances against
Navy, the outdoor meet followed the schedule of recent
years, with the Terps rolling to an overwhelming victory
over the Midshipmen, 104y3 to 58'/3.

The Terrapin Long Jumpers, with Calhoun, Ivory and
Bo Kent, swept the event, and coupled with Ivory, Allen
Ball and Kent Guthrie, swept the Triple Jump as well.
Kent Burno, a recent transfer from Hagerstown Junior
College, won both the 1500 and 800 meter runs with
3:54.2 and 1:53.8 efforts, respectively. Renaldo Nehe-
miah and Greg "Fly" Robertson won the hurdle events,
with Renaldo also winning the 100 meters. A strong head
wind caused all times to be slow, but Renaldo's 13.5
hurdles effort proved to be the most spectacular of all
running performances.

12

A week later in sunny Knoxville, Tennessee for the
Dogwood Relays, roommates Bob Calhoun and Renaldo
Nehemiah again won their specialties, the Long Jump
and High Hurdles. Renaldo ran a personal handtimed
best with a 13.4, and Calhoun again jumped over 25'7"
in the horizontal jump.

For the first time in recent memory, the A.C.C. Cham-
pionships were held in Clemson, South Carolina, and
Maryland, again, in what has become a springtime ritual,
captured its 23rd consecutive outdoor championship scor-
ing a total of 182 14 points. Individual championships
were won by Ian Pyka, Greg Robertson, in another de-
feat of Renaldo Nehemiah in the High Hurdles, Brian
Melly, Dennis Ivory, Mike Remus in the Pole Vault, and
again Greg "Fly" Robertson in the Intermediate Hurdles.

The last weekend in April is traditionally Penn Relays
time, and with their recently acquired prowess in the
sprints and hurdles, Coaches Frank Costello and Stan
Pitts were determined to be competitive in the Cham-
pionship of America Relays.

With Renaldo Nehemiah and Greg Robertson running
three relays as well as the High Hurdles, the Terps
achieved mixed results in the annual relay carnival.
Teamed with David Dixon and Don Berich in the Shut-
tle Hurdle Relay, the quartet annihilated all competition,
running 55.8 in a new Penn Relay record and just one-
tenth off the world record. However, again victim to an
official's judgement call, the Terps, greatly to the aston-

600 School Record Holder — Mark Fields
13

ishment of all in attendance, were disqualified for an
alleged false start by Skeets Nehemiah.

With revenge on their minds in the 440 Relay, Bob
Calhoun, Andre Lancaster, Greg Robertson and "Skeets"
Nehemiah ran 39.89 for the Championship of America
Trophy. Only a photo finish of one-tenth of a second
gave Tennessee first place in the 880 Relay which cost
the Terps their second title. Robertson, Lancaster, Nehe-
miah and Manny Rosenberg ran 1:23.2 for a new school
record, losing to the Tennessee quartet by inches.

In the individual events, Ian Pyka won his second
consecutive Penn Relay watch in the Shot Put, throwing
60'2". Hurdlers Renaldo Nehemiah and Greg Robertson
went one-two in the 110 Meter Hurdles with "Skeets"
setting a Meet Record at 13.52. Despite the close de-
cisions which seemed to always go contrary to the Terps
runners, the performance of Maryland was obvious to
the attending crowd, and this effort again gave credence
to Maryland's desire to become a national power in track
and field.

Having two months to entertain the memory of their
defeat in the Indoor IC4A, the Terps traveled to Frank-
lin Field for the IC4A Outdoor Championships eager to
avenge their previous loss to Villanova. Nevertheless,
the Maryland squad was a decided underdog to the best
Villanova team in history. Maryland, as is the customary
practice took an early lead, thanks to the greatest long
jumping exhibition in IC4A history. Bob Calhoun won
the event with a new meet record effort of 26'3" followed
in second by Dennis Ivory, also over 26'. Ian Pyka de-
fended his previous outdoor championship with a 60'91,4"
effort in the Shot Put.

The hurdlers were fit for the occasion as well, as Greg
"Fly" Robertson easily defended his intermediate tide
and Renaldo Nehemiah won the High Hurdles. In ad-
dition to his crown, "Skeets" also won the 100 in a re-
markable 10.12 effort, and joining teammates in two
relays, the Terps placed second in both the 440 and 1600
Meter Relays. Brian Melly cleared 7'1%" in the High
Jump, providing additional second place points. However,
when the last event was concluded, the 1600 Meter Relay,
despite a new school record by the Terps at 3:07.5, Vil-
lanova escaped with a one point win over the Terps. 99
to 98, in one of the IC4A's greatest duals in champion-
ship history.

Eugene, Oregon, the track capital of the United States,
played host to the 1978 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Resolved to make their goal of national respectability a
reality, the Terps sent the finest squad of competitors
ever to a national championship. Brian Melly, expected
to score but not among the top entrants, narrowly lost
the event, but by clearing 7'2" was awarded second place
and All American honors. The 440 Relay quartet of Bob
Calhoun, Greg Robertson, Andre Lancaster and Renaldo
Nehemiah, despite a poor first exchange, captured fifth

14

place in the final with a 39.8 clocking. A severly hit fifth
hurdle and the resultant stumble kept Greg "Fly" Robert-
son out of the hurdle final, but his teammate, "Skeets"
Nehemiah, posted his fastest time ever, 13.27 to narrowly
lose the race on a lean by UCLA's Greg Foster. Nehe-
miah's time was the fourth fastest time in history, and set
the stage for Renaldo's total domination of Foster the
next weekend at the National AAU Championships as
well as during the European tour. Rob Calhoun, jump-
ing as never before, leaped 26'5" in the Long Jump, a
personal best and school record and was awarded third
place in the event. Ian Pyka, the smallest man in the
Shot Put finals, threw a very respectable 62'6%" for sixth
place and an All American certificate. But as impressive
as their individual efforts were, the team effort was the
most rewarding. The team scored a total of 25 and
placed ninth in the team championship, the best overall
team performance in Maryland history. The Terps, as a
team, indoors and outdoors, had taken that additional
step, and now were national class.

In conclusion, although the collegiate season ended in
Oregon, Maryland collegians proceeded throughout the
summer to garner new laurels. Bob Calhoun placed
third in the AAU Championships, and went on to place
second in the USA-USSR Dual Meet, scoring crucial
points which allowed his country to defeat the Soviets.
Dennis Ivory leaped 53'10" in the National AAU Cham-
pionships, for fourth place, and was invited to the U.S.
training session in Colorado. Renaldo Nehemiah won
the AAU Championships destroying arch rival Greg
Foster, and throughout his European trip defeated Foster
with regularity. Five times the sensational freshman
sprinted under 13.30 for his hurdle specialty. In his
first meeting with the world record holder, Alejandro
Cassanas, Renaldo annihilated the Cuban, forcing the
champion to drop out after seven hurdles. Repeatedly
he beat all the outstanding hurdlers in the world, losing
only once, and posting eleven of the top thirteen perform-
ances in the world. In Zurich, on a wet track, Skeets
clocked an astounding 13.23, diird fastest time in history,
and just two one-hundredths off the world record. Only
the rain had stopped the Scotch Plains hurdler from es-
tablishing a new world record. Maryland's other world
class hurdler, Greg "Fly" Robertson was named to a
U.S. Squad touring Europe, but an automobile accident
resulted in a fractured foot and an early return to the
States. Ian Pyka, always yielding 30 pounds in weight to
his shot put rivals, threw 62 feet in the AAU meet, and
he too was awarded a spot at the Olympic training center
in Colorado.

1978 was the finest year ever for Maryland track, on
both an individual as well as team level. This year
promises to be even more outstanding.
